    You’re probably not going to find a job to be honest. With a felony like that, no company will touch you due to insurance costs.

    Why would insurance be high. That was a long time go. I see many job ads saying no felonies within the past 4 years

    Call around to different company's and ask them about their insurance policies on DUI's. I would think after 5 years it shouldn't be an issue but I don't make the rules.

    Hoping people here have real experience to this so I can understand better before investing money into the license

    Excuse me but I gotta ask. If you are asking here about the starting wage, what made you consider being a DZ driver in the first place?

    There's high demand in Fast food too, but that doesn't mean it's gonna pay enough to be worth the trouble.

    Most GTA AZ jobs are paying $23-27 an hour, and most DZ jobs are probably less.

    How does this compare to what you doing now?

    What’s an DZ driver ? Is it similar to a OZ driver ?
